How has bacteria shaped development? provide 3 examples
Bacteria grow to a fixed size and then
reproduce through binary fission, a form of
asexual reproduction. Under optimal conditions,
bacteria can grow and divide extremely rapidly,
and bacterial populations can double as quickly as
every 9.8 minutes. In cell division, two identical clone daughter
cells are produced.
Bacteria come in all shapes and
sizes some are straight as a rod, others twist like a corkscrew.
Shape plays an important role in how
bacteria infiltrate and attack cells in the body.
Bacteria have an extraordinary ability to
maintain and recover their
morphology even after being twisted out of shape
